Review by Glenfiddich

Note

This exceptional Glenfiddich 55 year old single malt limited edition, was created to honour Janet Sheed Roberts, the granddaughter of William Grant - pioneering founder of the Glenfiddich distillery.

Janet Sheed Roberts, who lived to be 110 years old, had been the oldest living person in Scotland until her death in April 2012.

Peter Gordon, Glenfiddich chairman and great-nephew of Janet Sheed Roberts, commented; "The Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve is one of the rarest whiskies Glenfiddich has ever released and a real part of my family’s history. My great-aunt witnessed great change at the Glenfiddich distillery over more than a century, so it seems fitting to honour her remarkable life in this way."

Only 11 bottles of the Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve will ever be released to the public, one to celebrate each decade of her life.

Each of these bottles will be sold at auction, with proceeds going to selected charities.
